As for which is he better known for, building no doubt. He made frames for Indurain, Pantani, Cipollini, Roche and others. There's a post on another forum where the member recounts being at his shop and looking through the build sheets. He said that there were tons of names we'd recognize and that in one year Dario built 14 (IIRC) different frames for Pantani alone as Marco was searching for that 'perfect' frame.

Good info on Pegoretti. I didn't know he did so much work for the pro riders. Wonder if Pantani ever found that perfect frame? The Pegoretti pictured is very tastefully done, no doubt, and pretty understated for him.

Funny, I was just browsing that site and that page last week and completely missed that t-shirt. Very cool, I'm ordering one now, thanks!
